A major winter storm is headed for New England. With original roots in the Gulf of Mexico, this storm will be dripping full with moisture. However, not everyone will recieve the same type of precipitation. The map below illustrates the current Tyler's Weather.com forecast.
Sections of inland western and inland eastern Connecticut can expect an all-out ice storm. The precipitation will likely begin in the late morning on Thursday as rain. A quick change over to sleet and freezing rain will occur in these portions of the state. However, the shoreline and Hartford valley will remain all rain. As the storm dwindles to an end in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday, everybody can expect some snow. This will not amount to much of any accumulation.
In Bristol, expect over .5 inches of ice accretion. This is significant and precautions should be taken. A slight coating of snow is possible as the storm exits early Friday morning.
There is a moderate chance of No School on Thursday.
